That's what I thought...Never thought of fuel tubing...Do you only do that to your shelf queens ???? If you use it for runners how does it hold up ????

I used to use it on my shocks for bump stops. Held up pretty good but definitely not permanent. On the shock towers it works well if your self locking nuts are good as you can't tighten them much.

We ran them a lot back in the day- not sure why but we did

the Bullet manual shows them being fuel tubing, other than that I don't know of any other cars that used them as standard lol.

RPM makes white Delrin shock bushings. They are not exact copies, but they're shock bushings, and they're white.

The only ones that I have seen by RPM are the lower shock pivot, it would be awesome if they had uppers

Would be nice indeed but they never made them, only the lower pivot balls and they are very nice!

Sorry. Didn't realize they were lowers only, thought there were uppers too.

You did, but it's not
all your fault for missing it...gomachv deserves some of the blame for putting it in the Other Makes/Models forum.

Well I was scared the purists wouldn't consider it an Associated! My screws don't even have the proper bumps on em!

ever time I check in on the thread I want to move it to here
thought there was some profound reason to put it there instead though so I left it.
I have used the rpm shock bushings as uppers and it worked...kinda...
